I will be courageous

And bold

And thoughtful

Guided by a mission to bring my vision to the world.

I will stand for sharing the wisdom of people in the middle

And walk with everyone who wants to support others in the middle

I will grow from my individual focus to a person who leads others

Nurtured by all those on the journey with me

I will reach towards growing a platform that serves those in the middle and makes them known

And offer a place for exchange

I will be remembered for bringing people together

Because I choose to advocate for those who are not heard and seen.

I will carry the responsibility of supporting those who support me

And leave behind my fear of being something I shouldn’t be.

I come from a sense of democracy and justice

And I move towards positive exposure for many.

I will be the voice of so many who currently have no voice

I will be the light in the space of darkness of non-recognition.

I will be the change that supports hearing from others in the world

I will be wisdom leading to inspiration for action in the world. .
